To be fair, it seems as if 2K Sports put more resources into the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 titles. Those versions also have a lot more content than what’s detailed below. On the other hand, the game built for Nintendo is seemingly an afterthought, just developer Pam’s way of experimenting with the Wii’s motion-control control scheme.

Missing are many of the things you’d expect from a true sports sim. No player or venue creator, no unlockable content (at least that I found), and, sad but true, no real career mode. Instead, you choose from 16 licensed racket swingers, including fan favorites Federer, Andy Roddick and the lovely Maria Sharapova.

You can choose from 10 real-world courts, including Grand Slams (the U.S. Open, the French Open and the Australian Open). Game modes include typical quick play, a trio of lackluster “party” games and a substitute for career mode called “Road to Glory.” In this, you advance through 11 different setups, from a tiebreaker contest to pool play to Grand Slams. Not exciting.

Playing the game just adds to the disappointment. The game uses the nunchuk as well as the Wiimote, with the nunchuk’s joystick controlling player movement (sluggish) and aiming (pick a side, any side). You swing the remote back to ready for your shot, and forward to control the type of shot and power of it.

It sounds simple, but the players are not nearly as fast as you’d expect, there’s no pinpoint accuracy, and the actual control scheme is inconsistent. I don’t know how many times I pulled my arm back only to see the lovely Maria Sharapova stay motionless, as if posing for a magazine shoot. (This just in: She’s quite lovely.)

Net (actual net not online) play is abhorrent, as the slow character response kills any chance you have of hitting a volley. Serving is better, as you can choose from three types of serve: regular, power or safe, each involving a different button configuration.

Multiplayer is the way to go, though you can forget about any form of online play. Up to four players can get in on some split-screen action the old-fashioned way. That’s where your best bet for fun here lies, as the opponent A.I. is terrible. Just keep hitting lob shots and watch the computer scramble around like it’s under fire.

This game is a rental — at best — and that’s just because of the lovely Maria Sharapova. If you really want to swing the virtual racquet, do yourself a favor and pop in that old Wii Sports disc.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this particular difficulty plus it does indeed offer me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, through everything that I have experienced, I just simply trust as the reviews pack on that individuals continue to be on issue and don’t get started upon a tirade regarding the news of the day. Still, thank you for this superb point and while I can not really agree with the idea in totality, I regard the viewpoint.
